The Castello di Sopra (Upper castle), like the nearby Castello di Sotto (Lower Castle), built in the same period, is placed in the heart of a lovely medieval village, surrounded by a centuries-old park touched by spring water streams. The two castles are among the very few manor houses which have always belonged to the same family (the Strassoldo family) who built them nearly a thousand years ago and are so-called "water-castles" of the Spring-Water Area of the Friulan flat land.
Distance from Lignano is ca. 49 km, 38 minutes with a car.
